How’s your bracket?

That’s what I thought.

The first round of the NCAA Tournament was bonkers. Ten double digit seeds won their first game (the most ever) and there were 13 upsets by seed in the first two days of March Madness, which tied a record since the Big Dance expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

No. 11 Wichita State over No. 6 Arizona
